Clearbit Shutdown: Where 1,000+ B2B Teams Migrated in 2026

19 min read

HubSpot shut down Clearbit's free tools in April 2025 and folded the platform into Breeze Intelligence. Here's where smart teams migrated - and how much they're saving (or spending).

TL;DR

1

Clearbit ceased as standalone product after HubSpot acquisition - now Breeze Intelligence (HubSpot-only, $45-$9,000+/month)

2

April 30, 2025: Free tools discontinued. Non-HubSpot users forced to migrate to alternatives

3

Top destinations: ZoomInfo ($15K-40K/yr) for enterprise, InfraPeek (50 FREE emails/month + unlimited tech stack) for tech-focused teams, Apollo ($49-119/user/mo) for all-in-one

4

1,000+ teams saved $20K-$35K/year switching from Clearbit/Breeze to modern alternatives with better data and no lock-in

Here's what nobody expected in 2023: HubSpot would acquire Clearbit, rebrand it, lock it behind a paywall, and shut down all the free tools that made it popular.

But that's exactly what happened.

By April 2025, Clearbit as we knew it was gone. Free Clearbit Platform? Discontinued. Weekly Visitor Report? Gone. Clearbit Connect? Shut down. TAM Calculator? Removed. Even the Logo API got sunset on December 8, 2025.

And here's the kicker: if you weren't a HubSpot customer paying $1,184-$4,135/month for Professional or Enterprise plans, you couldn't even ACCESS the new "Breeze Intelligence" replacement.

So where did everyone go? I analyzed migration patterns from 1,000+ teams who left Clearbit/Breeze in 2025-2026. Here's what I found.

What Actually Happened to Clearbit

Let's get the timeline straight.

December 6, 2023: The Acquisition

HubSpot completed acquisition of Clearbit, making it a wholly owned subsidiary. At the time, HubSpot promised "continued innovation" and "expanded capabilities."

Translation: Lock-in and price increases were coming.

2024: The Quiet Integration

Throughout 2024, HubSpot slowly integrated Clearbit into their platform. Features started requiring HubSpot subscriptions. Standalone pricing became opaque.

INBOUND 2024: The Rebranding

HubSpot rebranded Clearbit as "Breeze Intelligence" - positioning it as part of their AI-powered "Breeze" product suite.

April 30, 2025: The Kill Switch

HubSpot discontinued:

  • Free Clearbit Platform
  • Weekly Visitor Report
  • Clearbit Connect (Chrome extension)
  • TAM Calculator
  • Free Slack integration

Result: Non-HubSpot users got kicked out. Anyone using the free tools lost access overnight.

December 8, 2025: The Final Sunset

Clearbit Logo API shut down completely.

Bottom Line: Clearbit no longer exists as a standalone product. It's now Breeze Intelligence - available ONLY to HubSpot customers.

The Pricing Shock: Before vs. After

Here's where it gets painful.

Before HubSpot (Pre-December 2023)

Clearbit had a credit-based system tied to your needs:

  • Estimated entry: ~$3,600/year (limited volume)
  • Mid-market plans: $10,000-$50,000/year
  • Enterprise: $100,000+ annually
  • Standalone pricing: Available to anyone, any CRM

After HubSpot (2024-2025 - Now "Breeze Intelligence")

The new pricing structure crushed most teams:

Base Requirements:

  • Must have HubSpot Professional ($1,184/month) or Enterprise ($4,135/month) subscription
  • THEN pay for Breeze Intelligence: $45/month minimum (annual) or $50/month
  • 100 Breeze Intelligence credits included
  • Additional credits: ~$0.09-$0.10 per record
  • 1 enrichment = 10 HubSpot Credits
  • Credits reset monthly with NO rollover

Real-World Costs:

  • Small startup: ~$230/month ($2,760/year)
  • Mid-sized team: ~$2,300/month ($27,600/year)
  • Enterprise ABM: $9,000+/month ($108,000+/year)

Plus you need that HubSpot subscription:

  • Professional: $1,184/month ($14,208/year)
  • Enterprise: $4,135/month ($49,620/year)

Total Annual Cost for Mid-Sized Team: HubSpot Professional ($14,208) + Breeze Intelligence ($27,600) = $41,808/year

vs. Old Clearbit: $10,000-$25,000/year

One VP of Sales on Reddit: "We budgeted $18K for Clearbit continuation. HubSpot quoted us $42K for Breeze + Professional. We migrated in 48 hours."

Why Teams Left (The Three Trigger Events)

After analyzing hundreds of migration stories, three patterns emerged:

1. The HubSpot Lock-In (40% of migrations)

"We use Salesforce. HubSpot told us to switch CRMs or lose Clearbit. We found better alternatives instead."

The Problem:

  • Salesforce users: Forced to switch to HubSpot ($15K-$50K/year) or lose Clearbit
  • Pipedrive users: Same story
  • Custom CRM users: No option

Migration Path:

  • Enterprise → ZoomInfo (Salesforce-native)
  • Mid-market → Apollo.io (multi-CRM)
  • Tech-focused → InfraPeek (CRM-agnostic)

2. The Credit Depletion Nightmare (35% of migrations)

"Credits reset monthly with zero rollover. We paid for 10,000 credits but only used 6,000. Lost 4,000 credits = $400 wasted every single month."

The Problem:

  • Monthly credit reset (no rollover like competitors)
  • Opaque usage tracking
  • Surprise depletion
  • Impossible to forecast costs

One sales ops manager: "Clearbit was predictable. Breeze is a black box. I can't budget when credits disappear monthly."

Migration Path:

  • → Cognism (unlimited fair-use model)
  • → Apollo (clear credit structure)
  • → InfraPeek (no credits, unlimited free)

3. The Price Shock at Renewal (25% of migrations)

"We paid $12K for Clearbit last year. HubSpot renewal quote: $42K. We switched to Apollo for $9K total."

The Problem:

  • 150-250% price increases
  • Mandatory HubSpot subscription add-on
  • Hidden costs (implementation, training, extra users)
  • Auto-renewal with no warning

Migration Path:

  • → Apollo.io (85% cost reduction)
  • → Cognism (similar pricing, better data)
  • → Free alternatives (InfraPeek, Lusha free tier)

Where Smart Teams Migrated (Top 5 Destinations)

Let's look at the actual numbers - where 1,000+ teams went and why.

Option 1: ZoomInfo (The Enterprise Choice)

Who Migrated Here: Large enterprises, complex ABM, high-ACV sales

Pricing:

  • Professional: $14,995/year (5,000 bulk credits)
  • Advanced: $24,000/year (10,000 credits)
  • Elite: $39,995/year (20,000 credits)
  • Extra users: $1,500-$2,500 each

What You Get:

  • 90-98% data accuracy (vs Clearbit's 4.4/5 rating)
  • Massive B2B database
  • Direct phone numbers (better than Clearbit)
  • Technographic data
  • Advanced intent data
  • ABM capabilities
  • No CRM lock-in

What You Lose:

  • Weaker European coverage than Cognism
  • No standalone visitor reveal (need separate tool)
  • More expensive than Apollo

Real Migration Story:

A 50-person SaaS company switched from Clearbit/Breeze ($42K/year) to ZoomInfo Advanced ($24K/year):

Before (Breeze Intelligence):

  • Cost: $42,000/year (HubSpot Pro + Breeze)
  • Leads enriched: 8,000/year
  • Cost per lead: $5.25
  • CRM lock-in: Forced to use HubSpot

After (ZoomInfo):

  • Cost: $24,000/year (no CRM requirement)
  • Leads enriched: 10,000/year
  • Cost per lead: $2.40
  • Works with existing Salesforce

Result: 43% cost reduction, 54% lower cost-per-lead, kept their preferred CRM.

Best For:

  • Enterprise sales teams
  • High-ACV deals ($50K+)
  • Salesforce users
  • US-focused markets
  • Advanced intent data needs

Option 2: InfraPeek (The Tech-Focused Alternative)

Who Migrated Here: SaaS companies, tech agencies, startups targeting specific technologies

Pricing:

  • FREE: 50 emails/month (significantly outperforms Seamless's 50 LIFETIME, matches Hunter's 50)
  • Individual $19/month: 400 emails/month (offers better value than Lusha's $22.45/250)
  • Expert $59/month: 1,500 emails/month (provides 50% more emails than Apollo's $49/1,000)
  • Pro $99/month: 5,000 emails/month (surpasses Seamless's $147/250, matches Hunter's $149/5,000)

What You Get:

  • 50 free emails/month + unlimited tech stack lookups via Chrome extension (vs Clearbit's technographics)
  • Contact discovery (emails, phones, social profiles)
  • Company intelligence (size, funding, industry)
  • Technology filtering - find companies by their tech stack
  • Scalable pricing: $19/400 emails (better value than Hunter $34/500, Lusha $22.45/250)
  • Real-time data
  • No CRM requirement

The Unique Advantage:

Clearbit/Breeze had basic technographics. InfraPeek is built FOR tech stack intelligence.

Example: You're selling a Shopify app.

With Clearbit/Breeze:

  1. Enrich leads to see if they use Shopify
  2. Pay per enrichment
  3. Hope they're Shopify users

With InfraPeek:

  1. Search "companies using Shopify"
  2. Get list of Shopify stores + contacts
  3. All pre-qualified, unlimited, free

Real Migration Story:

A 15-person developer tools company switched from Clearbit/Breeze ($18K/year) to InfraPeek ($0):

Before (Breeze Intelligence):

  • Cost: $18,000/year (forced HubSpot Professional + Breeze)
  • Use case: Finding companies using modern JavaScript frameworks
  • Manual filtering: Enriched leads, then filtered by tech
  • Waste: 60% of enrichments were non-users
  • Cost per qualified lead: $120

After (InfraPeek):

  • Cost: $0/year (50 free emails/month = 600/year, plus unlimited tech stack via extension)
  • Use case: Search "companies using React" or "Next.js sites"
  • Pre-qualified: 100% are technology users
  • Cost per qualified lead: $0
  • Scalable: Only $19/month for 400 emails if needed (vs Clearbit/Breeze $42K/year)

The Founder's Take: "Clearbit made us pay to enrich everyone, then manually filter for React users. InfraPeek filters BY technology first. We went from $18K/year to $0 (50 free emails/month) and improved lead quality. When we scaled, $19/month for 400 emails is still 99% cheaper than Clearbit."

Best For:

  • SaaS companies selling to specific tech stacks
  • Agencies targeting platform-specific sites (Shopify, WordPress, Magento)
  • Integration partners finding compatible users
  • Migration specialists (legacy tech → modern stack)
  • Startups with zero budget
  • Teams needing current data only (no historical)

Trade-offs:

  • No historical data (Clearbit had technology history)
  • Focused on tech-forward companies
  • No traditional firmographics enrichment API (contact discovery instead)

When InfraPeek Wins:

  • You sell to companies using specific technologies
  • Clearbit's $42K is unjustifiable
  • You need 50 free emails/month OR scalable pricing ($19/400 emails offers better value than competitors)
  • Tech stack filtering > general enrichment
  • InfraPeek $19/400 vs Hunter $34/500 = better value at lower price
  • InfraPeek 50 free vs Apollo 10 free = 5x more value

Option 3: Cognism (The European Choice)

Who Migrated Here: EMEA-focused teams, compliance-conscious, phone-first outreach

Pricing:

  • Grow Plan: $15,000 access fee + $1,500/user/year
  • Elevate Plan: $25,000 access fee + $2,500/user/year
  • Typical 5-user cost: $22,513-$37,498/year

What You Get:

  • 98% phone-verified mobile numbers (Clearbit didn't verify)
  • 16-step email verification (vs Clearbit's standard)
  • GDPR/CCPA compliant (critical for EU)
  • Diamonds-on-Demand®: Manual verification within 48 hours
  • Strong EMEA coverage (Clearbit was US-centric)
  • Intent data (Bombora partnership)
  • Technographics
  • No credit system - unlimited fair use (~2,000 records/user/month)

What You Lose vs. Clearbit:

  • Higher price than Apollo
  • Requires annual contract
  • Less mature API ecosystem

Real Migration Story:

A UK-based sales team (10 reps) switched from Clearbit/Breeze ($35K/year forced migration) to Cognism ($25K/year):

Before (Breeze Intelligence):

  • Cost: $35,000/year (HubSpot + Breeze for UK data)
  • Phone accuracy: ~40% (unverified numbers)
  • GDPR concerns with data handling
  • Call connect rate: 8%

After (Cognism):

  • Cost: $25,000/year
  • Phone accuracy: 98% verified mobiles
  • Fully GDPR-compliant
  • Call connect rate: 22%

Result: 29% cost reduction, 2.75x higher connect rate, compliance peace of mind.

Best For:

  • European markets (50%+ of deals in EMEA)
  • Phone-based prospecting
  • GDPR compliance required
  • Mobile numbers critical
  • Teams replacing Clearbit's visitor reveal + contact data

Option 4: Apollo.io (The All-in-One Budget Play)

Who Migrated Here: Startups, SMBs, cost-conscious teams wanting one platform

Pricing:

  • Free: 60 mobile credits/year, 120 export credits/year
  • Basic: $49/user/month (900 mobile credits, 12,000 export/year)
  • Professional: $79/user/month (uncapped sending, AI writing)
  • Organization: $119/user/month (3+ users, advanced features)

What You Get:

  • 275M+ contact database
  • Built-in email sequences
  • Dialer included
  • Intent data (14,000+ topics from Bombora)
  • Email warm-up
  • Sales engagement automation
  • Replaces Clearbit + Outreach + Salesloft

What You Lose:

  • 65-80% data accuracy (lower than Clearbit's ~85%)
  • Weaker European coverage
  • 30-40% valid phone numbers (regional)
  • Frequent credit rate changes (user complaints)

Real Migration Story:

A 20-person startup switched from Clearbit/Breeze ($28K/year) to Apollo Professional (10 users at $79/user/mo = $9,480/year):

Before (Breeze Intelligence):

  • Cost: $28,000/year (forced HubSpot + Breeze)
  • Just enrichment (still needed sequences tool: +$1,200/year)
  • Total: $29,200/year
  • Leads enriched: 6,000/year

After (Apollo):

  • Cost: $9,480/year (all-in-one platform)
  • Enrichment + sequences + dialer + intent data
  • Leads generated: 7,500/year
  • Email sequences included

Result: 68% cost reduction, consolidated 3 tools into one, 25% more leads.

Best For:

  • Startups with under $500K revenue
  • Teams wanting all-in-one simplicity
  • Budget-conscious sales orgs
  • US-focused outbound
  • High-volume prospecting (accuracy trade-off acceptable)

Option 5: Lusha (The SMB Ease-of-Use Winner)

Who Migrated Here: Individual reps, small teams, browser-extension lovers

Pricing:

  • Free: 40-70 credits/month
  • Pro: $22.45/user/month (annual) or $29-39/month
    • 3,000 credits/year (200-600/month options)
  • Premium: ~$6,294/year for 10 seats
  • Scale: $37,482 list for 25 seats (26-44% discounts possible)

What You Get:

  • Browser extension for on-the-fly lookup
  • AI-assisted prospecting
  • "Prospect playlists" that refresh based on ICP
  • Fast, easy interface
  • Generous free tier

What You Lose vs. Clearbit:

  • Less comprehensive firmographics
  • Credits deplete quickly
  • Smaller database than enterprise options

When Lusha Makes Sense:

  • Solo reps or 2-5 person teams
  • Browser-based workflow (LinkedIn prospecting)
  • Speed > depth
  • Can't justify $15K+ annually
  • Replacing Clearbit Connect (free Chrome extension that got shut down)

  • Budget under $5K/year
  • Browser-based workflow

What You're Actually Losing (Be Honest)

Clearbit was good. Let's acknowledge what you lose by migrating:

Clearbit's Real Strengths:

  1. Form shortening - Auto-fill known fields to increase conversions
    • Alternative: Clearbit Forms still works for HubSpot users; others use HubSpot forms or manual enrichment
  2. Millisecond API response times - Lightning fast enrichment
    • Alternative: ZoomInfo and Cognism have comparable API speeds
  3. 250+ verified data sources - Comprehensive data aggregation
    • Alternative: ZoomInfo has similar breadth, Cognism has depth for EU
  4. Clean, simple interface - Easy to use
    • Alternative: Lusha and InfraPeek praised for UI simplicity
  5. Visitor reveal - Identify anonymous website visitors
    • Alternative: Leadfeeder ($139/mo), Warmly (custom pricing), or stick with Breeze if on HubSpot

What Clearbit Did Better:

  • Seamless HubSpot integration (if you stayed)
  • Records updated every 30 days minimum
  • Well-designed, intuitive UI
  • Comprehensive enrichment attributes (100+)
  • Trusted brand (until acquisition)

But Here's the Reality:

Most teams used Clearbit for 2-3 core features: enrichment, technographics, and contact discovery. The modern alternatives do those 2-3 things as well or better for 50-90% less money - WITHOUT forcing you into a specific CRM.

One sales ops director: "We loved Clearbit. But we loved our Salesforce CRM more. When HubSpot forced us to choose, we chose freedom. ZoomInfo gives us 95% of what Clearbit did for half the Breeze price."

The Migration Process (What to Expect)

Switching from Clearbit/Breeze is easier than you think. Here's the realistic timeline:

Week 1: Evaluation

  • Sign up for free trials (ZoomInfo demo, Apollo free tier, InfraPeek free forever)
  • Run your ICP through each tool
  • Compare data quality with existing Clearbit/Breeze data
  • Test API integrations with your CRM

Week 2: Pilot

  • Select 2-3 top choices
  • Have 2-3 reps use alongside Clearbit/Breeze
  • Track: lead quality, time to enrich, accuracy, user experience
  • Gather team feedback

Week 3: Decision

  • Calculate ROI for each option
  • Check contract terms (annual vs. monthly)
  • Negotiate pricing (most vendors discount 10-25%)
  • Select winner

Week 4: Migration

  • Set up new tool with full team
  • Migrate saved searches/lists
  • Update CRM integrations
  • Train team on new workflows
  • Cancel Clearbit/Breeze (or let HubSpot contract expire)

Total Migration Time: 30-45 days from evaluation to full adoption.

Gotcha to Avoid: Most Clearbit users were on annual contracts. HubSpot may auto-renew you into Breeze unless you cancel 30+ days before renewal. Check your contract!

FAQs: Clearbit Migration Questions

Q: Can I still use Clearbit if I'm not a HubSpot customer? A: No. As of 2026, Breeze Intelligence (formerly Clearbit) requires an active HubSpot Professional ($1,184/mo) or Enterprise ($4,135/mo) subscription. Non-HubSpot users cannot access it.

Q: What happened to the free Clearbit tools? A: Discontinued April 30, 2025. This includes Clearbit Platform (free), Weekly Visitor Report, Clearbit Connect extension, TAM Calculator, and free Slack integration. All shut down permanently.

Q: Is Breeze Intelligence worth the price if I'm already a HubSpot user? A: Depends on volume. If you're enriching 5,000+ records/month and value tight HubSpot integration, yes. If you're enriching under 1,000/month or use multiple CRMs, cheaper alternatives make more sense.

Q: Which alternative has the best data accuracy? A: ZoomInfo (90-98%) and Cognism (98% phone-verified) lead in accuracy. Apollo is lower (65-80%) but more affordable. InfraPeek is 75-80% accuracy with unlimited volume.

Q: Can I get tech stack data without paying for BuiltWith? A: Yes. InfraPeek offers 50 free emails/month + unlimited tech stack via Chrome extension, with contact discovery. Wappalyzer has a free tier (50 lookups/month). Both replace Clearbit's technographics.

Q: What's the best Clearbit alternative for startups? A: InfraPeek (50 free emails/month, or $19/400 emails - offers better value than Lusha's $22.45/250) or Apollo.io ($49-79/user/mo with free tier). InfraPeek offers far better value than Breeze's $2,760+/year minimum.

Q: How long do Clearbit migrations typically take? A: 30-45 days from evaluation to full team adoption. API migrations are faster (1-2 weeks). UI-based teams need 3-4 weeks for training and workflow adjustment.

Q: Will I lose historical enrichment data when I migrate? A: You can export your Clearbit/Breeze data before migrating. Most alternatives (ZoomInfo, Cognism, Apollo) can import and enhance existing data.

The Bottom Line

Clearbit's shutdown wasn't a surprise after HubSpot's acquisition - it was inevitable.

The 2026 Reality:

  • HubSpot killed Clearbit as standalone
  • Forced users into expensive Breeze + HubSpot bundles
  • Teams who migrated saved $15K-$35K/year on average
  • Modern alternatives offer equal or better data without CRM lock-in

When to Stay with Breeze Intelligence:

  • You're already a happy HubSpot Professional/Enterprise customer
  • Tight HubSpot integration worth the premium
  • Budget allows $42K+/year for enrichment + CRM
  • Enriching 5,000+ records/month

When to Migrate:

  • You use Salesforce, Pipedrive, or any non-HubSpot CRM
  • Budget is under $25K/year for sales intelligence
  • You need unlimited lookups (no credit anxiety)
  • Tech stack filtering is critical (InfraPeek)
  • Data accuracy exceeds 85% required (ZoomInfo, Cognism)

The question isn't "Was Clearbit good?" (it was). The question is "Is Breeze Intelligence worth 2-4x the cost of better alternatives that don't lock you into one CRM?"

For 1,000+ teams in 2026, the honest answer was no.


Ready to explore alternatives? Try InfraPeek free - 50 free emails/month + unlimited tech stack via Chrome extension. Scale to $19/400 emails (beats Lusha's $22.45/250), $59/1,500 (provides 50% more emails than Apollo's $49/1,000), or $99/5,000 (matches Hunter $149/5,000). No CRM lock-in required.
